    I need to create a self drawing title box such as the one shown in the video below at 0:09 secs with the lines from top and bottom then the words animate on from the centre. This part is easy for me to do but the client wants to be able to use the animation and change the words to whatever they need. Is it possible to make the box so that it adjusts in size to whatever the words are changed to? So that if the words are longer then the box still fits around it. How would I do this? Thank you.

    You seem to be telling me how to actually make the animation rather than my question about the client editing the text? If they edit the text it needs to still work properly.

    you can use an expression to detect the rectangle width by the characters of text.

    here’s how it works:
